It was a fantastic day. Saw elk, deer and long horned sheep. Aaron is a terrific guide. The weather was very cold and windy but Aaron took great care on the roadways.

We took the tour on November 29th with Jeff and he was very knowledgeable and made the trip exceptional. His driving also made me feel safe throughout the ride in his van.

Really enjoyed the trip. Our guide Jerry was super patient and helpful. Went during Thanksgiving break. Couldn’t go all the way to the top as the road was closed. I knew this before going. Will go again during summer.

We toured with Jerry S. on Thursday, November 13th and he was so knowledgeable about the area and was very engaging. He gave us ample time at each stop and was quick to turn around when we spotted wildlife! The big horn sheep were such an awesome thing to see! The BEST part of the trip was Jerry giving my partner and I a recommendation (when I asked) for a road trip that we could take on our own the next day. It was nothing short of incredible. We never would have known where to go and what routes to take if he wouldn't have been so tuned in to what we wanted to see. I highly recommend Aspire Tours and would take another trip with them the next time that we come back!

The trip was a great combo of riding through scenic views as well as stopping at key areas with the opportunity to walk around and get pictures. Aaron’s commentary was spot-on. He was soooo knowledgeable. He also happily answered any questions we had along the way. As a solo traveler, I was grateful that Aaron offered to take our pictures along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone.

Jerry, our tour guide, made the whole experience memorable. He was well-spoken and very knowledgeable about the area, including animals and overall history. He even made an effort to stop at places where animals were roaming so we could take pictures.
